Telecom Lead Europe: SAP AG announced new mobile apps to
help people be more efficient.
The new SAP mobile apps provide real-time mobile access
to human resources, sustainability, finance, sales and mobile commerce
functions.
This includes updated versions of existing SAP mobile
apps available on more mobile platforms, including Android and RIM BlackBerry.
“With mobile serving as a major part of daily life,
it is a top priority for most businesses that seek to simplify daily tasks for
employees and their customers. SAP is leading the charge for businesses to run
better with stunning, easy-to-use mobile apps that can manage and analyze
today’s explosion of data–bringing business to people,” said Sanjay
Poonen, president, head of Mobile Division, SAP.
The new SAP mobile app enables mobile workers to enter
expenses while on the road, freeing them from tedious re-entry at a later date.
The SAP Travel Expense Report mobile app allows business travelers to create
expense reports from a mobile device. Users can save time by adding corporate
credit card charges or quickly taking a photo of a receipt to submit expenses
with a few clicks directly from a restaurant.
The new SAP Learning Assistant mobile app allows learners
to explore and consume learning content anywhere and anytime. The app accesses
SAP Learning Solution and allows learners to explore available learning
content, manage course bookings and download and play e-learning content online
in a range of formats right from their iPads.
Learners can view personal notifications for expiring and
required qualifications, as well as the recommended courses to fulfill them on
time.
For sales executives the SAP Customer Briefing mobile app
provides a real-time dashboard to help prepare them for customer interactions.
This allows immediate access to critical client data in an easily consumable
format.
Moreover, the app provides real-time visibility to
internal customer relationship management (CRM) data, as well as external
business, and news sources, while on the road. Sales professionals can view
customer information in a visual format, helping ensure they are exceptionally
well prepared for every customer meeting.
Companies focused on improving safety will have faster
visibility to problems with the SAP EHS Safety Issue mobile app. Workers can
log issues from their mobile device with a photo or video, as well as an audio
recording, and send it directly to an incident or safety manager for corrective
action.
